Coors Light Silver Bullet Express Trains Converge on New York for Invite-Only Concert

Winners From Throughout Northeast Coming for Show Headlined by Gym Class Heroes

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Oct 20, 2011) - Any brand can throw a big party. Only Coors Light does it like this.

The Silver Bullet® train has been featured in Coors Light advertising for the past several years, delivering the World's Most Refreshing Beer™ to thirsty consumers. Now, the iconic Coors Light train is coming to life this weekend as the Silver Bullet Express brings legal-drinking-age consumers from throughout the Northeast to New York City for a special concert Saturday night at the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill. The invitation-only event is headlined by Gym Class Heroes, with a performance by Shaggy and a special DJ set by Pete Wentz of Black Cards.

One of the Coors Light Silver Bullet Express trains will leave Washington, D.C., Saturday morning, stopping in Baltimore, Wilmington, Philadelphia and Trenton before arriving at Penn Station in New York Saturday afternoon. The other train will start in Boston and make stops to pick up additional winners in Providence, New Haven and Stamford. Other winners, primarily from throughout New York, will travel via air and car to the event. Approximately 600 people will attend Saturday night's party.

"The Coors Light Silver Bullet Train has been one of the most popular aspects of our advertising over the last several years, so we wanted to find a way to bring that equity to life in a way that would give our fans an experience that would make them the envy of their friends," said Dan Hennessy, senior director of marketing for the Coors Family of Brands. "The Northeast has long been a stronghold for Coors Light, and we're the best-selling light beer in New York City. The Silver Bullet Express is our way of thanking our loyal drinkers throughout the region."

Legal-drinking-age consumers won trips on the Silver Bullet Express through local promotions over the past six weeks, including pre-parties where tickets to the big event in New York City were given away.

Each Silver Bullet Express train will feature special Coors Light décor inside and out, and there will be a local DJ on board to entertain passengers as they make their way to New York City. The trains will feature Coors Light bars, video game stations with both retro classics and the latest games, iPads so winners can provide social media commentary about their experience and a Coors Light Lounge where people can relax while they travel in style. At B.B. King's Saturday night, the inside of the club will be transformed into a complete Coors Light experience, with ice bars, Silver Bullet Express models and Coors Light Super Cold Draft stations pouring the coldest Coors Light possible.
